A hog roast near Four Elms
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. At midsummer, events in Four Elms stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
